Robert Edwin Porges

Robert Edwin Porges passed away on July 19, 2022. He was 84 years old, born February 25, 1938, and is survived by his wife Sheery and his four daughters Hillary, Justine, Heather, and Alicia, who along with his son-in-law Stephen, Sheery’s family and others who knew him, will all miss him more than we can express. The son of Harry and Sophie Porges, and brother of Irwin, he grew up in Brooklyn, NY, loved the Dodgers (until they moved to LA) and then became a die hard Yankees fan. He valued education, receiving a BA from Columbia University, a JD from Harvard University, and an MBA from NYU. He was an attorney by profession who was dedicated to his work and helping clients, and who did a lot of pro bono work. He was incredibly smart, loved a good argument, and was a complicated man, who would often say everything was going to be fine, even if it always wasn’t. He had a soft spot for animals, appreciated the arts - especially Sheery’s own paintings, and was someone who often helped others and had a good heart. He loved his family, and was a father who loved his girls and always said I love you each and every time. He loved his wife Sheery immensely, and she loved him and took good care of him, and he wanted nothing more than to be with her all the time. He will be remembered and loved always.
